About Seaways

The peak season is from July through November/December, when businesses around the globe begin making their products ready to sell during the holiday season. Consequently, shipping companies increase their freight rates at the start of the peak season to meet the increased demand for their goods and services. In some cases, there may be a surcharge for peak seasons. It could also be imposed to cover the additional logistical demands required to cater to the escalating demand. Other seasons of high sea freight that you should be aware of are unique to China, the second-largest exporter.

Shortage of trucks in logisctics industry

Seaways09 Nov, 2022Business

The lack of truckers isn?t typical for logistical issues faced by shippers, to put it simply. This is a matter that?s beyond their control. In the US, the trucking shortage problem has grown worse since the enactment of the ELD mandate in December last year, which has caused trucking supply to become scarce and causing supply chains to enter an almost-partial stalemate as a consequence. When there is a shortage of trucks, the prices of ocean freight rise in a normal market reaction, the capacity decreases, and the demand rises, which causes rates to increase. As shippers, you?ll be forced to pay a premium to find a trucker or be affected by disruptions in the supply chain. The possibility of rerouting cargo using different routes or ports, planning your shipment ahead of time, and making a contingency plan are a few ways to prevent delays because of shortages in trucking.

Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS)

Seaways02 Nov, 2022Business

Shipping lines have different surcharges that they can use whenever they feel essential to implement them. One of them is, called the Emergency Bunker Surcharge, or EBS, which addresses the increasing fuel cost. Please don?t mix it with the EBS and its counterpart, the Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF), which is used to compensate for the fluctuating fuel cost caused by market fluctuations. The BAF is usually beforehand. This is different from the EBS, which is applied as an emergency plan at any time and can result in sudden cost problems for shippers? budgets for logistics. In the last couple of months, carriers have been implementing this Emergency Bunker Surcharge in response to what they say as unanticipated increases in fuel cost. This has triggered many protests from shippers who are not just irritated at being assessed for something they cannot control and also because of the alleged unfair methods.
